A new Crystic Rapid Tooling Resin will also be on show. Crystic RTR 4000PA, is a new rapid tooling resin which cures using an MEKP catalyst. It is a replacement for the current rapid tooling resin, developed in response to customer’s feedback, which asked better handling properties, improved shrinkage control and most important of all, a resin which can be used with a standard MEKP catalyst. Available from March ’09, Scott Bader say that Crystic RTR 4000PA, which is hand applied, provides all of these improvements and is also fully compatible with the brush tooling gelcoat Crystic 14PA and Crystic VE 679PA, a vinyl ester / DCPD skincoat, to provide a high performance Matched Rapid Tooling System to make high quality FRP mouldings

Another Scott Bader innovation ,Epoxy Bonding Crystic Isophthalic Gelcoat is also on show, developed specifically to offer a polyester gelcoat for use with epoxy resins. The system is intended to provide a reliable, permanent bond with wet lay or pre-preg epoxy resin systems.
